The homage is fitting because there’s been a long history of Doctor Strange references in Pink Floyd’s discography.

The cover art for 1968’s A Saucerful Of Secrets, the very first ever made by legendary design team Hipgnosis, was an enigmatic combination of various cryptic visuals, including a panel from the comic itself.

In the end, though, the Pink Floyd song featured in the movie is none other than “Interstellar Overdrive”. This fully instrumental, highly improvised track was the centerpiece of Pink Floyd’s earliest shows, with creative wunderkind Syd Barrett at the wheel, and remains a staple of late-sixties London psychedelic underground music.
